Very much so. There are underwater volcanos where the plates are being formed. There are earthquakes where the plates push into one another. The movement of tectonic plates create conditions in which volcanoes and earthquakes occur. They don't in themselves cause volcanoes and earthquakes. The movements of tectonic plates is caused by currents of heat from the Earth's interior. That's the real culprit. Without that heat, the tectonic processes would stop and so would the volcanoes and nearly all of the earthquakes.
Although earthquakes can occur anywhere , they are more frequent in earthquake zones. These zones such as Japan & California lie near the moving margin's of the tectonic plates , called fault lines . The movements of tectonic plated is caused by currents of heat from the Earths interior.

What else can I help you with?
How earthquakes volcanoes and mountain's formation are related to plate tectonics?
Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are formed via plate tectonics. When the large continental plates collide, they either cause temporary earthquakes, or more permanent features such as volcanoes and mountains.
Which of the terrestrial planets experiences PLATE tectonics?
Earth of coarse. The signs of plate tectonics are volcanoes, earthquakes, and once again; volcanoes. Their are signs of plate tectonics on mars that have seized to a halt. Mainly extinct volcanoes and deep trenches.
What do plate tectonics cause around the world?
Plate tectonics cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges around the world. Movement of the Earth's plates can also trigger tsunamis and affect the climate by creating ocean currents and shifting continents.
Did plate tectonics on Mars form the volcanoes on Mars?
No. Mars does not have plate tectonics. The volcanoes on Mars are the result of hot spots.
What is the best indication that the planet may have plate tectonics?
The presence of large, rigid plates on the planet's surface that move and interact with each other, causing earthquakes and volcanic activity, is the best indication that the planet may have plate tectonics. Additionally, features like mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and mid-ocean ridges suggest the presence of plate tectonics.
Where does plate tectonics situated in layer of ocean?
earthquakes and volcanoes

What causes earthquakes volcanoes trenches mid-ocean ridge?
Plate tectonics.
What is the similarity between volcanoes and earthquakes to plate tectonics?
Monkey Pants, YEAH
Where do volcanoes and earthquakes happen?
Earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and contiential plates.
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes show up where they do?
When two tectonics plate move together and volcanoes are made by alot of magma
What does the theroy of plate tectonics explain?
it explains y there is volcanoes, earthquakes, and the movement of the continents
Which of the terrestrial planets experiences PLATE tectonics?

Why is plate tectonics theory thought to be a unifying theory?
Plate tectonics is considered to be a unifying theory because a consensus finds it to be true. Most scientists believe the plate tectonics cause volcanoes and earthquakes.
How are earthquakes and volcanoes related to the theory of the plate tectonics?
They are both caused by movement of tectonic plates.
Where are earthquakes and volcanoes located?
Mostly on the edge of plate tectonics, but not all the time so bear that in mind
